Yes, you can if it is two years or older.

My question: if husband is sacrificing sheep on eid al adha, wife and children also shouldn’t cut nails, hairs? and children from which age should nt cut nails and hairs.

Only the one who is sacrificing, the one who actually pay for it must refrain from cutting nails and hair. The other members of the family don’t have this restriction.

I came to know that we have to give Aqiqah in our younger age. My father passed away and I asked my mother whether Aqiqah was given to me or not and she is not remember. Now I am 40 years old. This this case Do I have to give Aqiqah for me now ?

Can buffalo be slaughtered as udhiyah..? Is it permissble to eat Zebra..?

Slaughtering

It seems that it is permissible to slaughter buffalo and it should follow the same ruling as a cow. Zebra is permissible.

For udhiyah on Eid, is it better to slaughter in the city we live ourselves and distribute the meat. Or is it better for us to do it through some organization which will then distribute the meat to the poor in Yemen/Syria etc?

Both are acceptable but doing it yourself and eating from it is better,

Suppose a husband and wife both had the money to sacrifice their own animal slaughter, do they do so or would it be sufficient that the husband does one Qurban on behalf of himself and his wife while the wife uses this ‘extra money’ for other purposes.

If you can reschedule the exam, this is a must. Otherwise, you can combine.
